Ghosts of the San Fernando Cathedral

We are packing our bags and heading into the time machine so we can zip ourselves back to the 18th century. We’re headed to present-day Texas which was then Papaya territory—we don’t mean the tropical fruit that smells like vomit, but rather a tribe of indigenous hunter gathers.

The Papayans lived around what is now called the San Antonio River, and in 1731, a group of people all the way from the Canary island with a promise from the King of Spain that they could build a church there. Today we’re going to try and understand why they thought this was a good idea, and how the church that they would eventually build what would become one of the most haunted landmarks in America.  

The Lady Dicks dick-tect history, mystery and paranormal tales from around the world. Hailing from Canada, Andrea and Tae are a terribly cheesy comedic duo that covers some of life’s biggest mysteries and peskiest ghosts.
